As we arrive at the 12th Step in the 12th month of the year, it feels fitting to pair this reflection with a photo of the place where so much healing begins: the meeting room at Maynords. These walls have held countless stories, breakthroughs, tears, laughter, and moments of courage. It’s where people come together, month after month, to do the work that makes Step 12 possible.
“Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”
Step 12 teaches us that recovery is meant to be shared. The spiritual awakening that grows through the Steps naturally moves outward toward service, toward community, toward helping the next person find their way.
But none of this happens without the foundation built in Steps 1 through 11.
Every moment of honesty.
Every quiet surrender.
Every inventory and amends.
Every meeting held in that very room.
Recovery is cumulative and each step strengthens the next.
At Maynords, we witness this transformation every day. Individuals walk into meetings seeking hope, and over time, they become the very people who shine that hope for others. That’s the heart of Step 12. That’s the heartbeat of recovery 💛
